Technical description Hyundai Atos

This car is the smallest model of the company. This is a typical city car, economical engines and small dimensions put it in the city car segment. The price is competitive, but the workmanship and modest standard equipment are not surprising.

TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT

The car belongs to cheap cars, which means that the workmanship is low. In general, the car rides well, great for city driving, but driving long distances can be difficult due to weak engines. There is quite a lot of space inside the car, the controls are at hand.

TYPICAL FAULTS

Steering system

The gears are durable, but the booster version fights leaks at hose connections. The rod ends are often replaced.

Transmission

With high mileage, the gearbox can become noisy due to the bearings. Often the gear lever fails due to the pads connecting the gear lever to the housing being devulcanized (Photo 1,2).

Clutch

No shortcomings specific to the model were found.

ENGINE

Small and economical engines are economical and there are no big problems with them, sometimes the throttle valve breaks when unskilled unscrewing. They also compress vacuum lines, causing engine performance problems. It strongly corrodes the fuel filter, which makes it much more difficult to replace it, and sometimes makes it impossible (Photo 3).

Hamulce

The cylinders in the rear wheels and the guides of the front calipers stick, the discs (Photo 4) and the pistons of the front calipers corrode occasionally, but most often due to cracks in the rubber covers that were not noticed in time. Brake cables are also susceptible to corrosion.

There are problems with loosening the screws of the lamp (Photo 7) and license plate lights, caused by corrosion of the screws.

The electrical system is devoid of serious malfunctions, sometimes the switches under the steering wheel stop working.

Suspension
